GTKYT 3/7

We haven’t done this in a while…

Get to know you Tuesdays! 

What did you did as a teenager that makes you cringe now??   🤣

Re: GTKYT 3/7

  • Omg haha SO many things! I was dealing with a ton of emotional turmoil as a teen and trying to process life changes that no young woman should suffer through so I really pushed boundaries. I think my biggest regrets though is that I started smoking heavily in my teens. Now seeing all these young kids with vape makes me cringe. I wish people would stop destroying their lungs 😬

  • I was kind of a old soul my whole life and generally didn’t make bad decisions other than trusting people that shouldn’t have been trusted, but I do cringe at how hard I tried to be “cool”. It was worse in middle school and everyone did it but my gosh how embarrassing to look back on😂
  • Digging into mental health stuff but it makes me cringe to think that I thought I was fat in high school. Fueled my body dysmorphia for so long. 
  • I definitely was in the same boat, body dysmorphia too young and remember eating just a bag of chips for a meal and definitely thinking I was wayyy too cool. I remember being 15 and taking my older sisters car and showing off at school I’m driving it and then wham! I got into a car accident smh. Also, the amount of drugs I did growing up was awful. I’m grateful that I was able to break free from that and never touch it but I was sniffing cocaine everyday for my late teenage years. Just cringing now.  
  • I just didn’t care, we moved a lot so I just stopped caring what people thought and didn’t put effort in to relationships (friends, family etc) 
  • CARGO JEANS
  • And the hickey my mom spotted me in the act of getting, from the absolute worst kisser of my life. Dude thought my face was a chew toy. So many things about that single night make me still embarrassed 20+ years later.
  • My mental health was all haywire in high school and I have some weird memories about being very anxious unnecessarily. Most of my funny cringe was in middle school. I wore TWO polo shirts and flipped up the collars to middle school dances. I also was bad at straightening my hair and it’s very curly so there’d be like hunks of kink or wave that I would miss 😂
  • @ccmrc143 ugh the hair straightening! I went to boarding school and my roommate and I used to iron our hair on the ironing board in the laundry room before school dances.

    I just feel like everything I did as a teenager was cringe. Y2K was good for no one 😂

    I was such a rebellious teen. I was very opposition (and still am). If you told me to do something I would look you in the eyes and do the exact opposite and just wait to see the response. I got involved with a lot of bad people and got mixed up with some drugs. I’m lucky I didn’t end up dead in a ditch. I would go out and party all weekend. I ended up pregnant at 17 because of my decisions. I always told myself I would just get an abortion if I ended up pregnant. I couldn’t do it when I was actually faced with that decision. He was my first true love. Cringe? Yes but no regrets. 

    ETA: no regrets because everything that happened has led me to where I am today. 

    Also, I still wear my comfort tank under every shirt I own.
